Assignment: Family Literacy Project

Description: Literacy is directly related to school success. Supporting family literacy in the early years directly impacts a child's school readiness and later school success. Therefore, family literacy plays a critical role in quality programming.

Directions: Design and implement a literacy activity that supports the diversity of families, children, and staff in your school, incorporating reading, writing, speaking, and listening. You can involve all age groups: infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children who are in your center or choose one classroom. Document the process, results, and creations in a way that can be displayed prominently in your school.

Write up specific details of the activity:

1) What is the element of this project that supports diversity in your school? (S2a) (S1b)

2) What is the activity?

3) What steps were taken to begin the project? (S4c)

4) What happened as families and staff got involved? (S2c) (S4a)

5) What were the creations that emerged from the project? (S4b) (S5c)

6) What were the benefits of this project for you, families, and children? (S2b) (S4d)

Include documentation of specific language and literacy skills supported by the activity. Use the most common languages spoken by families in the school program. When thinking of ideas for the project, think of authentic, respectful activities that reflect the diversity of the families that you serve. (S1b) (S4c)
